Coach Accused Of Kidnapping, Abusing Teen

A prison cell is pictured inside Alcatraz 22 December 2006 on San Francisco Bay in California. Sometimes referred to as "The Rock", the small island of Alcatraz served as a lighthouse, then a military fortification, and then a federal prison for the area until 1969, when it became a national recreation area. At present the island is an historic site supervised by the National Park Service as part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and is open to tours. Visitors can reach the island by ferry ride from Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. It is listed as a National Historic Landmark. The United States Census Bureau defines the island as Block 1067, Block Group 1, Census Tract 179.02 of San Francisco County, California. It is home to the now abandoned prison, the oldest operating lighthouse on the West Coast of the United States, early military fortifications, and natural features such as rock pools, a seabird colony (mostly Western Gulls, cormorants, and egrets), and unique views of the coastline.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Police say they arrested a Portland basketball coach after a caller told them a teenager was yelling “Help me” in his apartment.

The coach is accused of kidnapping, assault and using a child in sexually explicit conduct, among other charges. Police say the victim was one of his players.

Police identified the suspect as 54-year-old Leslie Jerome Lewis, a coach in the local “Above the Rim Basketball League.”

Police say they were called to the apartment on Sunday evening.

Officers say the 13-year-old boy was safely removed from the apartment.
